I think Spoetnik is wrong on this.

First of all Ripple is a company with mostly corporate investors and they never had any ICO open to the public. So I wouldn't call it and "ICO scam coin".
Banks are definitely interested in the blockchain technology and constantly looking for new ways to simplify internal procedures and decrease costs. Ripple is an already working low cost network with professional developers and a visible company (=accountable) in the background. I'm pretty sure banks would prefer it over basement dwelling developer communities or Russian jack-of-all-trades geniuses .
